To quote the kidnaper from The Princess Bride, "Ridiculous!". The markings were apparently put on by Lubin to keep the firearm from wandering off. To hand it over to the police 100 years after the studio closed will only result in the destruction of a piece of history or, adding to the private collection of an officer or his chief. Interesting marking, nonetheless, and a piece of the weapon's history. Keep it.
